A passionate programmer, software architect, and a enthusiastic observer of internet technologies and usage. Having worked in a variety of roles, the essential passion that drives me is that of a Programmer. Architecture and Design issues excite me, Solving problems through programming is what I crave. C++, Java and Python I am quite competent at, Python being the most exciting. A number of other languages I experiment with.

Had a strange day today. Architecture could undergo a radical change. Am excited (at the much bigger challenge), concerned n fatigued. #
@psnively sure in reply to psnively #
"Hello World" book for teaching kids s/w programming uses Python as the sample language. Excellent choice http://is.gd/1I8wx (via @surya_s) #
@psnively Interestingly our interactions provided a great motivating diversion during an arduous night (almost sunrise). Tx for it n RT. in reply to psnively #
Many nice #OSCON 2009 presentations available here. Take your pick : http://en.oreilly.com/oscon2009/public/schedule/proceedings #
@shrinik due to SMS limit of 160 (20 was reserved perhaps for ads ?) in reply to shrinik #
@testertested @shrinik Thats true for phone only right ? http://help.twitter.com/forums/10711/entries/14020 (at bottom : Noteworthy facts) in reply to testertested #
@psnively @vdichev it won't work, but more often than not you wont mix up the param order & will get it to work (n then iterate) far quicker in reply to psnively #
@vdichev I mean the compilation / dependency jar checks / webapp restart etc. collectively. (My ref points are primarily java n python) in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev Scala coding time is much less than java since it LOC approaches that of Python but it still has the same comp/startup overhead in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev Of course if hot deploy / live class reloading is widely used with Scala, I'm not aware of it in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev Have worked very extensively with C++ and java. I used to be very passionate about static typing (error detection). ..contd.. in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev ..contd.. but after working with python, I've figured out it (static error detcn) is just not that big a deal it is made out to be. in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev Of course I understand each of us has different zones of comforts and therefore different preferences. Hence opinions != bashing in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev I did attempt to work with Haskell .. wasn't so comfortable. However am quite excited with Scala (probably cos its not pure FP?) in reply to vdichev #
@vdichev To me what really matters is that code should be clean n concise – hence I like python n scala (in that order ) in reply to vdichev #
@KentBeck Doesn't that just throw up a whole bunch of confusion between 1.0 and 0.1(=1), 2.0 and 0.2 (=2) etc ? in reply to KentBeck #
What do you do when you get followers who's most certainly uninterested in what you are tweeting about ? Keep em / Block em ? #
@arnarbi Well, we're talking of the spammers and almost likely to be spammers – just gets slightly grey in reply to arnarbi #
@psnively typing isn't so important to me – code constructs, conciseness and clean/elegant code is what I really care about. in reply to psnively #
@dushyanth very well put. thx. in reply to dushyanth #
@heytal I think @dushyanth provided the best answer : http://twitter.com/dushyanth/status/2802183337 in reply to heytal #
